In ancient Chinese culture, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is undoubtedly a classic work deeply loved by people. Among them, the brave generals of the three major forces of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are even more talked about. Among these generals, there is a widely circulated saying: "Lv Bu is the first, Ma Chao is the second, and Dian Wei is the third." Is this saying correct?

First, we need to clarify the meaning of this saying. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lv Bu, Ma Chao, and Dian Wei are all renowned for their bravery and martial arts skills. The saying "Lv Bu is the first, Ma Chao is the second, and Dian Wei is the third" ranks them based on their martial arts abilities.

However, from a historical perspective, this ranking may not be accurate. In history, Lv Bu was known as the "Flying General," but his character was unpredictable and he was ultimately killed by Cao Cao. Although Ma Chao was brave, his achievements were not as glorious as Lv Bu's. As for Dian Wei, although he was renowned for his bravery, his martial arts skills were not the strongest during the Three Kingdoms period.

In fact, there is no unified standard for ranking generals during the Three Kingdoms period. Different people may evaluate generals' martial arts skills based on different criteria. For example, some may evaluate based on generals' achievements, while others may evaluate based on their bravery. Therefore, the ranking of "Lv Bu is the first, Ma Chao is the second, and Dian Wei is the third" is just one opinion and cannot represent everyone's view.

Overall, although the saying "Lv Bu is the first, Ma Chao is the second, and Dian Wei is the third" is widely circulated, it cannot represent everyone's opinion. When evaluating generals during the Three Kingdoms period, we should evaluate based on specific historical facts rather than simply relying on some circulating sayings.
